Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to better understand how clindamycin works in children who fall in the 85th percentile or higher for body mass index (BMI - a ratio of weight to height). The results of the study will help better understand if children in higher BMI ranges process the medication differently and whether dosing should be adjusted in these children.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, open-label pharmacokinetic and safety study of multiple doses of IV and oral clindamycin in overweight and obese children ages 2 to 17 years of age. The total study duration is expected to be approximately 24 months; each subject will participate in the study for up to 18 days (screening day; treatment days 1-14 \[may be as short as 2 days\] followed by an observation period of 3 days post discontinuation of clindamycin therapy or after day 17 (on day 18) of therapy in those who are treated with more than 14 days of clindamycin).

Interventions

DRUGClindamycin

Schedule includes 30-40 mg/kg/day dosed every 6 or every 8 hours with a maximum daily dose of 2.7 grams/day. Dosing greater than 2.7g/day will be allowed for children receiving clindamycin as part of clinical care.

The data from the Staph-Trio study were only included for PK modeling and not intended to be compared in the analysis. PK sampling schedule for PTN\_Clinda Obese was: Pre-dose 0 (within 15 minutes prior to IV clindamycin dose), 0.5 (± 5 minutes) after dose was administered, 1-1.5 hours (hrs) after dose, 3-4 hrs after, 5-6 hrs after, and pre-next dose. Samples were collected on multiple days and averaged to arrive at a single value. Comparison of empirical Bayesian Estimates (EBE) for clearance by age cohort are presented below.

Pharmacokinetics (PK) - Clearance (Cl) in Participants Who Received Multiple Doses of Intravenous (IV) Clindamycin.

In order to understand the impact of obesity on clindamycin PK, PK data were combined to build a PK model from 3 studies that included both obese and non-obese children: 1) PTN\_Clinda Obese study (clinicaltrials.gov/ct.gov identifier NCT01744730) n = 21; 2) PTN\_POPS study (ct.gov identifier NCT01431326) n = 178; and 3) Staph Trio study (ct.gov identifier NCT01728363) n = 21. The data from the Staph-Trio study were only included for PK modeling and not intended to be compared in the analysis. PK sampling schedule for PTN\_Clinda Obese was: Pre-dose 0 (within 15 minutes prior to IV clindamycin dose), 0.5 (± 5 minutes) after dose was administered, 1-1.5 hours (hrs) after dose, 3-4 hrs after, 5-6 hrs after, and pre-next dose. Samples were collected on multiple days and averaged to arrive at a single value. Comparison of empirical Bayesian Estimates (EBE) for clearance by age cohort are presented below. Sampling schedule details for PTN\_POPS and Staph Trio were comparable.

Time frame: After first study dose of IV Clindamycin through Day 14 (minimum of 3 samples; maximum of 6).

Population: In order to determine the impact of obesity and the best weight measure for dosing, only children ≥ 2 years of age were compared (PTN\_Clinda obese study n = 21; PTN\_POPS study n = 104; and Staph Trio study n = 0). The PK model suggested dosing should be based on Total Body Weight (TBW) regardless of obesity status.
